Waveforms

Standard Waveforms
In a modular synth the following waveforms are normally produced by VCO's or LFO's:

 * Sinewave: how will sound as an audio tone, how will sound as modulator, uses (i.e. hard edge etc.)


 * Sawtoothwave: how will sound as an audio tone, how will sound as modulator, uses (i.e. hard edge etc.)


 * Trianglewave: how will sound as an audio tone, how will sound as modulator, uses (i.e. hard edge etc.)


 * Squarewave: how will sound as an audio tone, how will sound as modulator, uses (i.e. hard edge etc.)


 * Frequency
 * Amplitude
 * Phase

Other Types
Other waveforms can be created using a waveshaper. Some oscillators, like the Livewire AFG, can produce complex waveforms by themselve.
